After the battle and occupation of Murfreesboro the Army of the Cumberland -was divided into three army corps. General ihomas was appointed to the comman: of the Fourtcenth corps, which was numbered after the original number of the whole Army of the Cumbertand, and tho other two were respectively given to Generals Motook and Crittenden, The army went into winter quarters at Murfreesboro, which was intrenched and oth erwise fortified, aud miade into a secure depot of supplies for the advancing army, The rebels took up their posi tion at Tullahoma, which they stroagly fortified. Ou the 15th of June, 1863, the army was in proper condition to again take the field, and shortly aftor did so, with the bo fore named commander: TUR OPRKATIONS IN MIDDLE TENNKSR—TULLATIOMA TLANKED. A part of General Thomas’ corps left Murfreesboro by the Manchester pike, surprised and captured Hoovel's Gap, a detilo three miles lovg, before the main infavtry support of the rebels could come up, and when they did arrive fought them and held the position, They also held the bridge across the Garrison fork and the debouch of tho Fairfield road. both important strategtcal points. Genoral Thomas next attacked the rebels on tho flank of his advanced position aud drove them towards Fairfield. At Fairfleld they were again foughs; but the rebels fled after a short resistauce, Ho then moved his command towards Manchoster,and compicted all bis movements amid continuous rains and storms. By dark on the 27th of Juno, 1863, the whole of his corps occupied Manches- ter, aud through this ranouvre the rebel fortified posi- tion at Tullahoma was ¢ mpietely flunked by the Union army. The whole army occupied Manchester by the 29th pi duno, and on the 20th, amid an incessant rain, the ‘troops, by dint of labor and prreoverance, dragged thoir artillery and themselves throvgh soft and spongy mud {ato position, ready to commouco the battle next day in tho rear of Tullahoma RECONNOISGANCE—EVACUATION OF TULLAHOMA—PUFAUIT, General Thomas next sent out @ strong force, in diffe- Front directions, to reconnoitre ,tho rebel pos'tion. Tho reconnoissances all returned, and reported having found tho enemy in furce on all the roads except one. By this show of foreo General Bragg led the Union commanders to believe bo intended to fight in bis defences at Tulla. homa; but during the night of June 30 Le evacuated his position and retreated along the road towards Chattanoo- g.. A-part of Thomas’ forces at once occupied the place, while the remainder pushed on after the enemy, over- taking and fighting the rebol rear guard at Bet pago bridge. CROBSING THE ELK. ‘The next duy Gen. Thomas, with his corps, and accom- panied by another corjs of the Army of the Cumboriand, advanced to the Fik, with great difficulty, after having had bis cavairy force engaged with the onemy’s cavalry near Morris Forry. His troops, howcvor, forced the passage of tho river after a sharp co. fot, and migit 0.) closed ‘tho pursuit. During the 3d of July be got his troops over the Klik, and moved forward along tho Brakefcid Point road und other highways, When the troops arrived at the reported rebel position they found the evemy guuo, and, as the Union troops wero out of provisions, and the roads had become impassable from rain and travel, they were obliged to halt for want of supplies. THE MARCH TOWARDS CHATTANOOGA—CIATTANOOGA RVAOU- ATRD. Stoadily the Army of tie Cumberland pursued its way over the mountainous regicn betwecn Manchestor and tho Tennewsve river; and of this laborious neirch General ‘Thomas’ corps bore its part, until, on the 29:h of August, it crossed the river near Raccoon ridge, and pusbed along towards ‘Trenton. The nex: movomont was towards La- fayette. Finding his flank again turned, Bragg bad to evacuate his de‘ences, and left Chattanooga on the 7th of Septem- ber. THR DATILES OF CHICKAMAUGA—LONGSTRERT'S DRFRAT. We have but #0 recently given a detailed account of this battle that it is only necessary merely to glance at General Thomas’ connection therewith. The troops ha boon moved to their position along the Chickamauga crock, and during the night of the 1th of September a skirmish revealed the fact that tho rebol General Long- street was in Thomas’ frout. ‘The next day the fight camg, aud Thomas defeated Longstreet, routing bis com. mind. On Sunday, September 20, the rebols attacked the whole Union force with grost ferocity, driving the centre and right wing until they broke to piec THOMAS’ COOLNE 9, ‘Thomas bold tho left wing, and boldly confronted the | enemy. The onstaught upon his command was feartul; yet he never lost his coolness, and when the day seemed | at the worst them was he far cooler than before, Our | correspondent thus spenks of his conduct during the latter | part of the battle, when near sunsct on Sunday, the 20th: ‘sThomas remained on bis horse, his arms folded, listen- | ing to the awful fire that soon raged along the line, with the coolness of agsured victory or the calmness of des- pair, His lips were compressed. His eyes glanced from right to leit as the shell and canister exploded about the | feld, aud once I saw him, just as the fight opencd most | furiousiy, glance up at a large, beautiful white pigeon or dove which alighted upon a dead tree above him and watched the battle from ber dangerous nest. Tho repre- sontative man of that lino, in uniaitering courage, ho (Thomas) may be also said to have, represented by bis | thoughts at that moment the thoughts of all, Watebing him, we could see his auxiety at tho reflection that If ‘that line did not stand ali woald lost; and each and every man thore know that the safoty of not only them- selves, but more, the safely of the whole army, de- pended upon them.’? The detonce was grand; the line stood gailantly; and when ight cloxed General Thomas jell back from bis po sition on the field to Rossvilie—we perhaps, but not defeated—the saviour of tho whole Army of the Cumber: land. PERSONAL DESCRIPTION OF GENRAL THOMAS, In person General Thomas ia pe: ir. He is fully six fect high; but his Gguro ts so iargo and square that it seems to rob him of several inches of stature Sandyish hair, keeu blue eyes of medium proportions, sunken uo- dor shaggy brows; straight nose, not strikingly proml- nent, but strong ; ruddy features, Jceply seamed; square taco; large, compact bead; beavy but firm step—there you have the physical map, Ho's patient, persevering, coven tem) ered and evergetic. When mounted, his horse moves at @ steady, regular pace, from which it never varies, and through which be bas gained the soubriquet of “Old Slow Trot.” Notwithstanding this nickname, such is the punctuality of General Thomas’ habits that 0 is never holind time. It way seem slow; but be is cortaloly sure. Whatever may be tho afier fate of Gonoral Thomas, the glory of bis conduct at Chick manga will never pass away (rom the memories of bis countrymen. = Coro: Inquests.
